    Need Help! Passenger Tire Moves and Rubs Fender. '68 Dart GT

    The guys atvthe HOT ROD SHOP I don't think they had a clue what they were doing. Their motto should be, we will try anything for a dollar. Unfortunately I did not know that until it was too late. Live and learn. i will not go back even for an oil change. The guys at Goodyear I don't think they...

    Need Help! Passenger Tire Moves and Rubs Fender. '68 Dart GT

    Hi Redfish - I have no idea. I had a "Hot Rod Shop" install the brakes and larger 5 lug conversion. It was a whole kit... like $1500 in parts. I would need to pull the invoices and see what all they bought and added...

    Need Help! Passenger Tire Moves and Rubs Fender. '68 Dart GT

    I just looked at your photo and thank you - that is very helpful. I will check those. I did look under it the other day and took some photos. One of the Rubber (bushings?) on the side of the wheel in question is half gone. It's on there but not sure how it is staying - it's torqued down so I...

    They could not get the passenger side in alignment. They said they got the driver said in spec 100%. And yes... I'm getting some flake on my typo... LOL... but I deserve it... I was on my phone and can't see that well anyway without the ole bifocals... You have hit me with a lot that I know...

    LOL - that's what I get for posting at midnight half asleep... thanks for bringing that to my attention. May be why not too many have replied. Can you "edit" and title??? If so, how would I do that if you know? Thanks again.

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    Well... in the last 12 hours since my 1st post I have learned a great deal - thank guys - all of you: 1) I have learned about all of the above and options. 2) I have learned that when you have a conversation with your wife 3 weeks ago and finally get time to move on the project - take time to...

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    Congrats on finding a 340... I looked around for one for the dart but they are hard to find. My '70 CUDA was a 340 car, but the guy I bought it from replaced it with a 440 4 barrel (and sold the original 340). I just upped it to the Six Pack with an original '70 intake and new repro Holley...

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    This may be a stupid question, but I think there are different "versions" of motors in say a car, versus a truck, versus an RV for example like in the Large Blocks. I assume the small blocks are the same deal??? Let's say I want to go with a 318 or 360. I had a guy locale tell me if I went...

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    Yea.... I'm paying for it.... so she doesn't care! Lol.... but I will say that for our 12th Anniversary she surprised me... she had put aside enough to finish the restore on my '70 Cuda. Good Girl!

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    I did replace the rear end. It now has a '70 Duster 8 3/4 rear end and a ''69 Charger 3:96 Chunk. I had to replace the rear end to move up to 15" tires... so I beefed up the rear to handle whatever route I took. The car is not going to stay 100% original as we swapped to 15" tires, updated...

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    Thanks 273! Would you go ahead and harden the valves (I think it is) so she ((my wife) can burn any gas in it (Ethenol) instead of having to find stations with 100% gas? That was my intention. In my '70 440-6 CUDA I have 4:10 gears and get 6 mpg! On my Harley I ride to eat... in the CUDA I...

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    That was my 1st thought, this is a car I bought my wife, so she is leaning toward keeping it numbers matching. She thinks it will be worth more that way later and I think putting a 360 or 340 in it would be worth more. Who knows. I guess it depends on who the Buyer is later....

    Thank you toolmanmike. I just found the site and this was my first post.... I am not a mechanic, so a lot of the posts are over my head. I was looking for a more general answer so I can call around for a mechanic and talk to him with a little knowledge and a direction from some of you A Body...

    I have a 1968 Dart GT. I had the car converted from 14" wheels to 15". All new front components, brakes, arms, etc. I took it to GOODYEAR TIRE for a front end alignment. They shimmed and got the driver side in 100%, however they said they could not get the passenger side in alignment...

    273 Numbers Matching car. Should I rebuild or swap engine?

    I have a 1968 Dodge Dart GT. It has a 273 V8 which needs a rebuild. I considered an engine swap but since it is a numbers matching car with Air.... all original. Still has original paint but I am about to fix that as it's time! I am considering a rebuild on the V8. With only 190hp and a 2...
